I got 50$ riding on Trump not being Prezident by the end uv the yir. I woud hav bet more, exept I'm poor. Also, sum uv the scamz that previous Prezidents got away with make me less than 100% confident.

Yes, but after Trump goes (somehow) who do you think you are going to get as president, Mother Teresa?No, just another grandstanding liar except that this time he/she will be supported by the lying media and the deep state.

The American obsession with Russia and presumed Russian interference in everything American including altering of the recipes for the apple pie is going from hysterical to ridiculous.

Yeap, the Russians hacked some minor water plant in New England , then they hacked the DNC and gave the emails pertainig to the way the DNC {!#%@} Bernie Sanders to the Wikileaks, then they hacked the ballot boxes in Trump's favor, then they ordered RT to tell the oxycodone stoned denizens of the flyover states to vote for Trump and then they sent the Russian FM Lavarov together with the ambassador Kislyak to the White House to tell Trump how to govern and planted electronic bugs at the same time.

They also got fatal control over general Flynn and Jared Kushner, maybe even Tillerson. But the most evil acts were the attempts to destroy the non-existent American Democracy. Can you imagine the gull of these people trying to destroy the democracy that doesn't even exist in America. America after all, is a true and free capitalist economy where everything is for sale, the government, even it's geriatric "people's representatives" in congress

How this embodiment of evil itself Vladimir Putin has done it nobody knows because all of the evidence is either missing or so deeply classified there is nobody but nobody who can even unclassify it.

But who the {!#%@} will worry about such minor thing as concrete evidence? Not Clapper, not Comey, not Brennan. Not even the actors of the infotainment TV channels Cooper, Tapper, Olbermman, Maddow and certainly not whats left of once mighty American press currently known as the American Presstitutes.

So now, take your opiates and all together ask; who is responsible for the everything bad in America including potholes? The Russians are.

The MIC can sell millions of dollars worth of weaponry to the elite, misogynistic Saudi royal despots, talk with the Brits and the Germans, etc., but God help you if you are a Republican and talk to Russians, who the US is not at war with despite neocon warmongers trying to remedy that.

I think that Russia entered into activities to cause domestic confusion in the USA and thus reduce USA's international willpower against Russia taking back Crimea and Eastern Ukraine and the USA's continuing support for economic sanctions against Russia. (There is now evidence that Russia supported Nigel Farage to also get the UK to leave Europe at the same time.)

What happened is that the Russians were just as surprised when Trump won as everyone else. Therefore the Russian Foreign office reset its entire activities for a different game. The new game was to nobble the working relationships between the CIA, FBI, Whitehouse and voting public, which it has now achieved.

However in early March the Russian newspapers "changed tune" and became anti-Trump. After Macron won in France Putin allowed Macron to abuse him publicly. This was a bit confusing but it seems probable that Russia is now going to change tune again and become "very reasonable" with Europe. Russia is probably looking to sell its resources back into Europe and replace USA commercial activities. This has been Russia's goal since the mid 1990s, when it looked at how to rebuild its post communist economy.

Therefore I don't think its should be characterised as "war" but rather "removing a competitor (the USA) from the market". That's why USA multi nationals are becoming overtly anti-Trump. I don't think Russia will give a rat's arse about the USA after it has been pushed out of Europe and middle east. It's all about the Russian economy from Russia's point of view.

I've come up with a set of rules that describe our reactions to technologies:

Spoiler:

1. Anything that is in the world when you’re born is normal and ordinary and is just a natural part of the way the world works.2. Anything that's invented between when you’re fifteen and thirty-five is new and exciting and revolutionary and you can probably get a career in it.3. Anything invented after you're thirty-five is against the natural order of things.- Douglas Adams

Oh really? They have now bases in Canada and Mexico and probably Cuba, Haiti, and on the Pacific and Atlantic sides they've got their carrier task forces. Nobody knows how many but if you stand on a boardwalk in the Atlantic City at night and look East it looks like Broadway out there. They even order pizzas and wings from the Atlantic City Domino's deliverable by drones.

And if they are winning then I think the best course of action would be for Tillerson to go out there and apologize for having a country in the middle of all those Russian bases.

And by using the pronoun "us" I understand you identify with the country's oligarchs, bankers, military/intelligence/industrial complex aka deep state? It's strange but it could happen, you and Kochs attacked by Russia. Only...why a quiet guy living in Illinois would be singled out as the enemy of Russia?

Okay, I get it now. You want to stay together, shoulder to shoulder with the bomb making, bomb dropping, soulless imperialists because...how shall I put it? You all have so much in common. Well, I just hope they feel like that too and if they do, one sunny day, all of the sudden, unexpectedly, out of the blue they will send you a wooden medal, by a courier, payable on delivery.

Nah - absolutely nothing. Well, a blank screen with an occasional message to download a driver, but it still doesn't work when I do that.I can find it on the youtube channel, but that's always that annoying bit behind the times. Bloody internet - why must things be so difficult?

A current example is a report from Gilbert Doctorow, Magna cum Laude Harvard grad and Fulbright scholar with a PhD from Columbia, author of many scholarly articles on Russia, and Chairman of the Russian Booker Literary Prize in Moscow 1998-2002, who says that NBC butchered Putin's response to Megyn Kelly in an apparent war-mongering effort:http://russia-insider.com/en/politics/n ... rs/ri20062

Qatar's foreign minister Sheikh Mohammed said that "No one has a right to intervene in our foreign policy," which reminds me of the time that Panama's leader Manuel Noriega waved his sword in the air and said that Panama was a sovereign country and the US put him in prison.

Ha, ha...... she did have a door knob stare from time to time..........or maybe it was me?

Yes, there's been a large disinformation campaign in the past few days. The right wing is trying to make it seems as if no investigation is required, therefore if Trump decides to fire Mueller it would somehow be okay.

"There is no evidence that the Russians, or whoever carried out the probes, were able to tamper with either the actual voting process or the tabulation of votes."

Putin has announced that it was probably Russian patriotic hackers. The FBI will be investigating if the Russian GRU (army signals & intelligence) initiated this or assisted the hackers, under guidance of the Security Council of the Russian Federation.

" Russian President Vladimir Putin seemed to suggest Thursday that "patriotic hackers" may have meddled in the US election, but insisted that none of their potential activities were state-backed."

It would seem odd however, that the SVR (Former KGB foreign intelligence service) would have pre-prepared press releases before the USA election unless it was already made aware by the Russian security council.

If it is true that the Russians interfered in the American elections then why is it that the intelligence community only found out about it after Clinton lost?

17 well funded intel agencies couldn't protect the integrity of the electoral system?

Maybe because it was the American ruling cliques themselves who were not interested in the free and fair electoral contest.In some states some poll stations in black areas (potential democratic voters) were removed causing long lineups and essentially discouraging people from voting.Gerrymandering, changing the rules of id, eliminating minority voters from the voter registration lists through the program called Crosscheck or other means.Not having a paper records after voting on some electronic machines. Allowing a private companies with links to the political parties to have an exclusive control over the software installed on those machines.Using outdated voting machines still running Windows XP for which Microsoft patches are no longer available.
